Roskomnadzor asked iTunes to remove songs

Roskomnadzor added several pages of the Apple iTunes Store online store to the register of prohibited sites because of the songs of the groups “Corrosion of Metal” and “Tsiklon-B” posted there, which are recognized as extremist in Russia.

“Court decisions have been received, on the basis of which the indexes of iTunes Store service pages for songs by the groups “Corrosion of Metal” and “Tsiklon-B” have been entered into the Unified Register. Official notifications have already been sent to the resource administration,” says a message published on Roskomnadzor’s Facebook page.

“Previously, the site promptly complied with the requirements of Roskomnadzor, so this time we expect that no problems should arise,” the department notes.

The federal list of extremist materials posted on the website of the Russian Ministry of Justice includes three compositions by the group “Corrosion of Metal”: “Skinhead”, “Beat the Devils” and “Niger”.
